Driving Jobs near you

Driving offers one of the most flexible and accessible ways to earn money on Airtasker. If you’re a competent, licensed driver with your own vehicle, there’s always someone around who needs help moving things or getting from one place to another. Becoming a driver is a practical option that requires low costs to get started, making it ideal for those looking to earn quickly just by using the car, ute, or van they already have sitting in the garage. 

Whether you’re interested in quick one-off gigs or building a steady stream of regular jobs, Airtasker makes it easy to start earning on your own schedule with a variety of driving jobs.

With such a variety of tasks available, driving appeals to all kinds of Taskers. Some prefer one-off, weekend gigs for a little extra cash, while others build a steady stream of driving jobs and turn it into a reliable full-time income. You also have the freedom to choose your pace, whether you only want to accommodate short local runs or are up for longer trips across towns. Once you build a good reputation, expect repeat bookings to start rolling in!

Furniture and appliance transport – Urgent gigs that pay generously

There’s always demand for Taskers who can help people move heavy or bulky items like couches, fridges, and washing machines. Ideal for anyone who enjoys lending a hand and doesn’t mind a bit of lifting, these driving jobs typically require a ute or van, plus a few essentials like lifting straps or a trolley. These tasks are often urgent, so people are willing to pay well for a fast, careful hand. Show up on time, handle items with care, and you’ll quickly earn top reviews. 

Want to set yourself apart and land more bookings? Put effort into giving your clients an experience worthy of five stars. You can do this through simple things like bringing blankets to protect fragile appliances and furniture. 

Airport and event transfers – Peak-time rides with great tip potential

Rides to and from airports or big events are another great way to earn. These jobs often pay more during busy times or when rideshare prices spike. A clean, comfy car and a friendly attitude go a long way here. Offering help with luggage, keeping a phone charger handy, or even having water bottles can help you rake in tips and repeat clients. People appreciate those small, thoughtful details, and they’ll remember you for next time (possibly even contact you directly to book another ride!). 

Courier and small parcel delivery – High-volume tasks for efficient drivers

If you prefer staying on the move, courier tasks may be perfect for you. Many people and businesses use Airtasker for same-day or next-day delivery of documents or small parcels. If you’ve got a fuel-efficient vehicle and a knack for planning efficient routes, you can complete multiple deliveries in one go. 

All you need is to be punctual and maintain clear communication with both senders and recipients. Businesses love working with reliable Taskers they can book for repeat driving jobs, so this is certainly a niche worth exploring and exerting good effort into.

Helping people move house – Bigger jobs with bigger payoffs

House moves take a bit more muscle, but they also pay well. If you have a large vehicle, aren’t afraid of some heavy lifting, and have the time and energy to spare, this could be a great fit. Bring the right gear (moving blankets, straps, gloves, etc.) and always be professional, courteous, and helpful. These jobs can take a few hours, so clear pricing and punctuality are important factors to build trust with your clients.

Other driving tasks that pay – Quick wins that add up fast

Driving tasks come in all sizes and price points. You can help with rubbish removal, transport pets, run errands like grocery pickups, or even relocate clients’ vehicles. Most tasks might be easy to accomplish, but they can add up fast if you keep your eyes out for these kinds of driving jobs. 

Land multiple bookings in a day or a week by making sure you stay reliable, friendly, and ready to go when needed. Exploring different driving jobs can also help you discover what you enjoy most — and where you can earn the most, of course!
